Clare College

Clare College was founded
in 1326 by Lady Elizabeth de Clare who was thrice-widowed before the
age of thirty: an arranged marriage, an abduction leading to a
clandestine second marriage, and a forced marriage to a man who died a
traitor.

Today, the College has settled down as a flourishing community of
137 Fellows, 440 undergraduates and approximiately 220 graduates.

The second oldest of the Cambridge colleges, Clare is located less
than five minutes walk away from the centre of Cambridge, yet enjoys a
peaceful location in beautiful riverside gardens.

The college campus spans the River Cam, with the 17th century Old
Court (all meals, day one workshops) lying east of the river and the
more recent buildings of Memorial Court (accommodation) to the
west. A short walk through a tree lined avenue and over the
exquisite Clare Bridge (1640) links the two Courts.

Trinity Hall

Wander out of Clare's front gate, walk about 30 yards to your
left, and you're at Trinity
Hall. The college was founded by Bishop Bateman of Norwich in
1350, making it the fifth oldest surviving college of the
University. In the words of William Bateman himself, its purpose was
for the promotion of divine worship and of canon and civil
science and direction of the commonwealth and especially of our
church and diocese of Norwich. The rationale behind this
stated purpose may well be attributed to the Black Death of 1349, a
disaster which, among other things, had resulted in a shortage of
clergymen and lawyers.

It's here that our first day's tutorials will take place, in the
lecture theatre and the nearby Graham Storey room. First day's
registration will be in the space outside the lecture theatre.

Faculty of Law

Five minutes walk to the south of Memorial Court and over West
Road: the University's Sidgwick
Site is home to eleven different faculties including - in
adjacent buildings - the Faculties of Law and Divinity.

All speakers, morning/afternoon refreshments and
registration will take place in the Law Faculty building, all in or
around room LG18; this is one level down from the main entrance with
access by lift.

We also have a room for breakout sessions etc booked in
the adjacent Divinity Faculty: the Runcie Room, also one level down
from the main entrance and again with access by lift.
